He got primarily fourth line minutes when he played for us. A couple of looks with staal but was always pulled pretty quick. I don't feel like he ever got the chance here. People keep referring to him getting his shot and not doing enough. Consistency was an issue, and his play this year in Charlotte took care of that issue. We kept dalpe and bowman who have a combined 2 pts because they are more "consistent" but let boychuk go after giving him a one game reward for the season he's had in Charlotte. Even more frustrating than dalpes two pts is the fact he can be sent down without waivers.

Just not very good asset management. I hope he jams it up our butts when they play us. Cracking me up a guy who can't make our mediocre at best lineup can fit in with Crosby and Malkin. 50/50 he makes it, but I'm rooting for him.
